Tattle admin have linked to this thread and said it's caused by ads tattle.life/threads/spammy-redirects-youve-been-chosen.2521

It's only happening to me on MN, tattle and digital spy the three forums I use. The rest of the internet is fine

Got one again this morning @mnhq

Hi, thanks for all your reports and screenshots on this issue which have been really appreciated.

We now know that this was a global attack on ad servers across multiple sites, and we're continuing to investigate the cause.

If it happens again, please let us know at: [email protected]

They were gone but just come back now

Twickerhun · 12/08/2019 12:00

When you say ‘attack’ what were they after?

Beldon · 12/08/2019 15:07

Yesterday I was getting the ‘congratulations’ message, today I’m getting the full red screen warning message. It’s on around half of the posts I go on.

GirlInTheDirtyShirt · 13/08/2019 21:28

Still happening, @soniamumsnet . Any fix planned? The site’s unusable on mobile.

089ville · 13/08/2019 21:39

It was bad at lunchtime today, but now seems ok. It comes and goes

matahairyy · 13/08/2019 22:11

Ive come to America to escape it. Where it’s not happening.

PancakeAndKeith · 13/08/2019 23:16

I’ve not had it here for a couple of days now. I have had it on other sites though.

EllaCorazon · 15/08/2019 16:51

I’m in France at the moment and keep getting redirected to this site. Sometimes it’s in French, sometimes it’s in Italian. It’s so annoying!

Ulverstonian · 17/08/2019 16:37

I’m also getting it again today. It’s been fine all week but has suddenly started up again.

Potatoduster · 17/08/2019 17:02

It's started again, really annoying. Is anyone from mnhq working the weekend?

Terkwoyse · 17/08/2019 23:17

I'm in France too and keep getting it.

LilyMumsnet · 18/08/2019 11:32

Hi folks

We're really sorry that this is still happening.
We really need links to the spam and screenshots - can we have these?

Terkwoyse · 18/08/2019 16:07

Struggled to attach this. Pop up every time

LilyMumsnet · 18/08/2019 17:00

Hello,

Thanks both. Are you located in France by chance?

orangeshoebox · 18/08/2019 19:41

LilyMumsnet

usually it happens when I type a post.
often the screen jumps to the advert which then is quite big and the keyboard dissapears.

Yes, I'm in France. It's only on my iPhone but I've had to use my laptop to reply as I'm having the same thing as orangeshoebox

GirlInTheDirtyShirt · 19/08/2019 09:00

^^ this is the exact same spam redirect I get. I’m in Spain, though. Haven’t had it so far today...
